FFFF Finally.... !!! yes, lots of expletives later, I have a sweet low profile slave cylinder from Mal Wood, complete with a series of conical spacers installed and the drive train fitted back in the car.

I bled the system tonight and checked if the clutch disengaged by turning fitting on the output shaft of the gearbox with the pedal depressed.

After increasing the stroke of the 7/8 MC from 20 to 25mm and using the above method to test it was working, I noted the take up was very early in the pedal travel.

When turning the fitting on the output shaft it was stiff but certainly not requiring more than a moderate amount of effort to turn. By contrast, with the gearbox in neutral, the effort required to turn the fitting on the gearbox output shaft would be considered as 'light'.

Its very much a newbie question, but is the observed level of resistant to rotation of the fitting on the output shaft considered 'normal' when in gear with the clutch pedal depressed... which would then confirm the clutch is fully disengaging..???

With thanks

Chris
